    Basically what it says in the title; here's mine:

    (1) Randy Turpin v Sugar Ray Robinson
    (2) Lloyd Honeyghan v Don Curry
    (3) John H Stracey v Jose Napoles
    (4) Nigel Benn v Gerald McClellan
    (5) Kirkland Laing v Roberto Duran
    (6) Barry McGuigan v Eusebio Pedroza
    (7) Bob Fitzsimmons v James J. Corbett
    (8) Lennox Lewis v Evander Holyfield II
    (9) Ricky Hatton v Kosty Tszyu
    (10) Joe Calzaghe v Bernard Hopkins


    Now you can all go and point out the obvious classic victories I have missed:hey




    NB: I would rather have stuck in Lennox-Evander I, but "technically" its not a victory so I had to leave it out.

    NB2: No Brit on Brit battles allowed.:deal

    Would have gone for Calzaghe v Lacy as opposed to the Hopkins fight,

    And Lewis v Rahman 2.

    Buchanan-Lagune would be after Curry-Honeyghan but before Lewis-Holy 2. Somewhere around the top five I'd say.

    I think Laings win over Duran can get overated. Duran was firmly in "I don't give a ****" mode at the time.....;O)
